We stayed in The Kenelm Room which was absolutely outstanding. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The ceiling had a skylight where you could look up to see the stars and watch planes from the local RAF base fly over. There was a good selection of complimentary drinks incl fresh coffee, bottled water and fresh milk alongside nice biscuits and a selection of teas. The water from the shower had excellent pressure and there were a lovely selection of toiletries available if you needed them as well as shaving equipment and dentistry sets. The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were perfect to ensure that a good nights sleep was had by all. We enjoyed an exquisitely cooked evening meal with a fabulous array of wines and an excellent selection of spirits also on offer. Breakfast was equally as good and everything was hot and well presented. Lucy the manager was warm and accommodating as was Amy and not forgetting Josh (waiter) who was exceptionally polite and courteous. The Guinness Arms went far beyond my expectations and I was more than impressed. Well done all of you 😀

Lovely property--beautiful, traditional, clean throughout. Our room (Daphne) was perfect for our twelve-day stay. While we didn't take every meal there, we had many dinners and breakfasts and each was wonderful. Fresh, locally sourced (their own estate), and deliciously prepared. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Super friendly staff on arrival and when we had breakfast. We stayed in Garech Room. There was a room above us with some heavy footed occupants, but nothing some ear plugs didn't resolve. Nice powerful shower, really comfortable bed. Would stay again.

My partner and I and my elderly parents had a last minute stay at the Guinness Arms as we were attending a family party nearby. We could not fault the rooms, service and breakfast the following day. It was very clean and inviting and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return in the near future. Thank you!

Lovely change, will comw back. 1 change only
Beautiful setting, usually stay in other hotels in the area but will definitely add this to my hotel rotation I had to leave for work at 6am and as the pub was all closed and no key drop box it was difficult to find a place to hide the room key before i left. I think the only thing id change is being mindful about people staying there for business

Lovely comfortable room and unique in appearance. We found the room to be very quiet at night time during our weekend stay. The food in the restaurant was very good and seemed popular with the locals as well. Make sure you book a table for dinner if you are staying. Great staff, great service!
